Killer who will not say where wife's body is to stay in prison
Linda Razzell vanished on her way to work in Swindon in 2002
A man who killed his wife and refuses to reveal where her body is cannot be freed from prison, after the High Court overturned the Parole Board's decision to release him.
Glyn Razzell, 66, was jailed for life in 2003 after being convicted of murdering his estranged wife Linda, who disappeared in Swindon the year before. He has never disclosed what he did with her body.
The Parole Board decided in April that Razzell could be released as his imprisonment was "no longer necessary" to protect the public.
It is the first time the Secretary of State for Justice's power to refer the decision to the High Court has been used to overturn a Parole Board ruling.
Announcing her decision earlier, judge Mrs Justice Cheema-Grubb said: "I am not persuaded that the risk has diminished to such a level that offender management is capable of keeping the public safe if the defendant is released."
She referred to a history of intimate partner violence (IPV) and coercive control, noting that there were references recorded of Linda's "fear".
Judge Cheema-Grubb said Razzell "has a propensity to violence against women and that without some recognition of that aspect of his personality he remains a danger to women who come within his milieu".
His continued denial of the murder showed he is "not a man who will lightly admit when things start to go wrong in his life", she added.
She also said he could not be relied on to comply with licence requirements "especially when to do so might endanger his idea of himself as a victim".
